1 Arithmetic Sequence.
What’s In
In the previous module, we define arithmetic sequence and give the next
term by adding a constant number.
For example: Find the first three terms of the arithmetic sequence: 3, 8, 13,
18, …
Solution:
What about if the problem is to find the 100th term or the 250th term? Can
you find the terms? Using the process that is illustrated above will take much of
your time and effort. There is a short cut in doing this and that is one of the foci of
this module.
5
What’s New
Before we find other higher terms of a sequence, let us first find lower
terms. In the arithmetic sequence: 3, 8, 13, 18,…; what is the 15th term?
Solution:
a. By adding the common difference to each of the preceding terms, we
get the following values.
n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
an 3 8 13 18 23 28 33 38 43 48 53 58 63 68 73
What is It
6
Thus, if we find for the 16th term of the arithmetic sequence, then
a16 = 3 + 5 (15) = 78. We can conclude that using the pattern observed the
nth term of the sequence is an = a1 + d (n-1), where an is the term that
corresponds to nth position, a1 is the first term, and d is the common
difference.
What’s More
Solution:
a. From the sequence, = 6 , d = 3, and n = 21.
b. Using the formula, substitute these values.
= 6 + 3 (21 – 1)
= 6 + 3 (20)
= 6 + 60
= 66
c. Thus, the 21st term is 66.
Solution:
a. From the sequence, a1 = 7, d = 3, and an = 304.
b. Using the formula, substitute these values.
an = a1 + d (n-1)
304 = 7 + 3 (n – 1)
304 = 7 + 3n – 3
304 = 4 + 3n
300 = 3n
n = 100
7
C. The 3rd term of an arithmetic sequence is 8 and the 16th term is 47.
Find d, and the 71st term.
Solution:
a. From the sequence, a3 = 8 and a16 = 47
b. These imply that:
a3 = a1 + d (3-1) a16 = a1 + d (16-1)
8 = a1 + d (3-1) 47 = a1 + d (16-1)
8 = a1 + 2d Eq. 1 47 = a1 + 15d Eq. 2

Lesson
Computing Arithmetic Means
2
What’s In
In the previous lesson, you learned how to determine the nth term of
an arithmetic sequence.
For example: In the sequence: 10, 15, 20, 25,…; what term has a value of
385?
Solution:
a. Using the formula, = + d(n – 1):
385 = 10 + 5 ( n – 1 )
385 = 10 + 5n -5
385 = 5n + 5
5n = 385 – 5
5n = 380
n = 76
10
What’s New
For example: In the sequence: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24; find its arithmetic means.
Solution:
a. The arithmetic mean is a term between the first term and the last term.
b. Thus, 8, 12, 16, and 20 are the arithmetic means of the sequence
because these terms are between 4 and 24, which are the first and last
term, respectively.
What is It
The first and last terms of a finite arithmetic sequences are called
arithmetic extremes, and the terms in between are called arithmetic means. In
the sequence 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24; the terms 4 and 24 are the arithmetic extremes,
while 8, 12, 16, and 20 are the arithmetic means. Also, 8 is the arithmetic mean of
the arithmetic extremes, 4 and 12.
The arithmetic mean between two numbers is sometimes called the average
of two numbers. If more than one arithmetic means will be inserted between two
arithmetic extremes, the formula for d, which is
, can be used.
The formula for d can be used to find the arithmetic means if more
than one arithmetic means will be inserted between two arithmetic
extremes.
n k
11
Let’s Try!
Solution
a. Using the average formula, get the arithmetic mean of 10 and 24.
b. Thus, is the arithmetic mean.
n k
c. The arithmetic means are a2, a3, and a4.
a2 = a1 + d = 8 + 2 = 10
a3 = a2 + d = 10 + 2 = 12
a4 = a3 + d = 12 + 2 = 14
d. Thus, the three arithmetic means between the arithmetic extremes, 8 and
16, are 10, 12, and 14.
C. Find the missing terms of the arithmetic sequence: _____, 6, _____, _____, 30.
Solution:
a. The arrangement of the terms tells that a2 = 6 and a5 = 30. We are
supposed to find for a1, a3, and a4.
n k
c. Thus, the value of a2, a3, and a4 are:
a1 = a2 – d = 6 – 8 = –2
a3 = a2 + d = 6 + 8 = 14
a4 = a3 + d = 14 + 8 = 22
